You're a gambling man. I willing to bet $50 that their strike rate will be better this season in NZ than last. Actually we could run a Betfair type exchange. @Huey and yourself put the money up and we'll see if people match it. -

That describes every gambling institution in the world that takes bets on racing not only NZ -
are you saying HRNZ isn't responsible for the decision making that directs where the industry is heading. sorry,but i don't get that. Who is it you think is in charge. And are you saying HRNZ was somehow instrumental in getting entain to come along and privatise the nz tab. thats not what i thought happened. I thought entain saw an opprtunity to make big money out of the sports betting in nz and the governmant and the tab was able to negotiate the racing industry being a big benefactor of that deal. As i've quoted before,entains last annual report specifically referred to the sports betting as being the main reason they wanted the tab. Without the sports betting they wouldn't have ever have been interested in nz racing. I've pointed out above all the key indicators and your response is,well its not hrnz's fault.But Hrnz are the ones who always say " they will manage future growth(their words). Your saying hrnz has been so successful that all the aussies are coming over. as i've pointed out before,many times,where is the evidence they wouldn't still come if the level of satkes for the bigger races were lower.I have used the examplwe of lhe greatest field to run in australia last year was ibn the hunter cup which was run for a stake that was only $250,000. Remember the big float trip leap to fame toook,driving across australia. His owner said at the time it was because of the sugnificance of the history of the hunter cup,not the stake.Besides, haven't aussie horses always raced in the big nz races. Why are you saying hrnz is doing something new,when its always happened. if slot races were such a great thing for the overtall good of the industry,then why is the australian harness one such an abject failure. harnesslink had a story related to that on their website yesterday. A high profile australian breeder claiming mares being bred this year,in that state ,could be down as much as 25% . And that would make it a 50% decline since the introduction of the eureka,4 years ago. so if slot races were that good,then how do you account for the australian ones failure. the slot races in nz needed big injections of cash from hrnz to be run. So what does that tell you about them being a success story. Why can't people see,that the people the industry is losing,and they will be lost forever,are looking at where hrnz is prioritising,saying to themselves,hrnz is all about the big players and auckland,thats not me,i've stuck around hoping they may change,but they obviously aren't going to,so i'm out of here. unhinged does race them in both islands,but his focus seems to be on the south island. . thats up to him. maybe some of the syndcates owners are based in the north island. He just seems to be chasing the bigger stakes mostly anyway with the handful has has had up there. you know,you would have to ask this about that stable. Theres robert dunn,all in on the need to have truckloads of money prop up auckland,because he says, theres a demand from auckland people. Mr dunns been there several years now,yet the horses he races seem to all have canterbury connections. like,how long does it take for this upsurge in auckland owner participation ,that he says will happen becauseof the large popualtion,flow through and create a noticable ,observable trend in the numbers he lines up with auckland connections. to the casual observer it seems a very slow burner.Someone needs to tell him,if he wants people to believe what he has said and to take what he says seriously,then he needs to show hes a results man,not just piss in the wind talker. -
More than likely it would have changed later as the game went on. -
Another thing that peeves me off about Tab/ Betcha…. Had a football bet this morning, took an option 3.5 + goals. Both teams scored within a few minutes, so thought i would cover myself and have a few bucks on 3.5 - ….. but hang on, the option had gone and moved out to 4.5 + / -. WTF
